    What happened? Description:
    Had this guy on friend list for a while.Messages me he has a gift for me *scammer senses tingling*.Asks me to add him on discord. He says he wants to transfer 150$ from paypal to my steam account, but he needs my steam guard code and my original steam name.Not realizing that the original name is important, i give it to him but refuse the guard code.Apparently he figured out my password somehow so he shows me screenshots of the "Change password" steam support page logged into my account in an attempt to blackmail the steam guard code out of me.I refused while immediately starting to change my password, but in the middle of the process i get kicked out of account.I then manage to change password and log back in.​

    Unfortunately, SteamRep does not accept reports dealing with hijacking/phishing/hacking -Due to current Investigative Policy
    http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/investigative-policy.140101/

    This includes anything to do with API key requests, wrong or misspelled URL's and sites requesting logins of any type in attempts to steal your credentials.
    These are phishing/hijacking attempts and are not to be reported to SteamRep!

    You can report the user to Valve instead
    In order to do that, you have to:
    1. Visit the accuseds profile
    2. Click MORE drop-down located at the top right of the page
    3. Choose REPORT VIOLATION
    4. Select the violation, then describe it and provide the evidence
    5. Click SUBMIT REPORT
